A Pro zone at $25 a month (billed monthly) that serves 10 TB of cacheable web assets works out to $0.0025 per GB before anything else. This brief gives you an effective cost per GB table by plan and volume, three worked workload models, and the volume threshold where a metered high-volume CDN becomes cheaper. As of published price lists checked August 2026, Cloudflare Pro costs $25 a month and Business $250 a month on monthly billing, with lower rates on annual billing and no published bandwidth fee for standard caching of web content. Video, large downloads and other disproportionate non-HTML traffic fall outside that flat model and are pushed toward Enterprise contracts or metered products such as Stream and R2. ## **How Cloudflare CDN pricing works by plan** Cloudflare sells the CDN as a flat subscription per zone. Delivery of cached HTML, CSS, JavaScript and images is not metered on self-serve plans. Your spend scales with the features you add and the traffic that misses cache and returns to your origin. Plan fees, checked August 2026: - **Free:** $0 per month, standard caching, shared support. - **Pro:** $25 month-to-month, about $20 billed annually. - **Business:** $250 month-to-month, about $200 billed annually, adds an uptime SLA and more rule capacity. - **Enterprise:** quote-based on an annual commitment, widely reported to start near $5,000 a month. Cloudflare's service terms reserve the self-serve CDN for web content. Serving a disproportionate share of video or large files without a paid product built for it, such as Stream, R2 or an Enterprise contract, can get a zone restricted. Treat the flat price as valid for web assets, not for a 40 GB game build. ## **What is Cloudflare's real cost per GB?** Cloudflare's cost per GB on self-serve plans equals the monthly plan fee divided by GB delivered, plus add-ons and origin egress. On Pro at 10 TB that is $0.0025 per GB from the plan fee alone, falling to $0.00025 per GB at 100 TB. Enterprise reverses the curve: a reported $5,000 floor is $0.05 per GB at 100 TB. The table below shows the plan-fee component only, using decimal units (1 TB = 1,000 GB) and monthly list prices checked August 2026. Enterprise uses the widely reported $5,000 starting point, labeled as an estimate. | Plan (monthly fee) | 10 TB | 50 TB | 100 TB | 500 TB | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Pro ($25) | $0.0025 per GB | $0.0005 per GB | $0.00025 per GB (web assets only) | Not realistic on self-serve | | Business ($250) | $0.025 per GB | $0.005 per GB | $0.0025 per GB (web assets only) | Not realistic on self-serve | | Enterprise (from about $5,000, estimate) | $0.50 per GB | $0.10 per GB | $0.05 per GB | $0.01 per GB or more, contract-dependent | Self-serve Cloudflare is close to free per GB for web content at any volume, while Enterprise only becomes cheap per GB at hundreds of terabytes. ### The effective cost formula > **Effective cost per GB equals plan fee plus add-ons plus origin egress, divided by total GB delivered.** Origin egress is the line most budgets miss. At a 95% cache hit ratio, 100 TB delivered still pulls 5 TB from origin. At a typical hyperscaler internet egress rate of about $0.05 to $0.09 per GB (2025 list pricing, estimate), that is $250 to $450 a month, ten to eighteen times the Pro fee. On flat Cloudflare plans, your origin bill is usually the real per-GB cost. ## **Metered Cloudflare pricing that changes the math** These add-ons are billed on usage. Figures are Cloudflare's published 2025 rates; recheck before budgeting, because Cloudflare adjusts these more often than plan fees. - **Argo Smart Routing:** $5 a month plus about $0.10 per GB routed. On 5 TB that is roughly $505, which turns a $25 zone into a $0.10 per GB service. - **Workers Paid:** $5 a month including 10 million requests, then about $0.30 per additional million, plus about $0.02 per additional million CPU milliseconds beyond 30 million included. - **R2:** about $0.015 per GB-month stored, Class A operations about $4.50 per million, Class B about $0.36 per million, zero egress fees. - **Cache Reserve:** storage and read and write operations billed at rates close to R2. - **Images:** about $5 per 100,000 images stored and $1 per 100,000 delivered, with transformations billed separately. - **Stream:** about $5 per 1,000 minutes stored and $1 per 1,000 minutes delivered. - **Logpush and Spectrum:** mostly Enterprise or contract-priced; budget them as quote-based. Stream's per-minute model converts to per GB once you fix a bitrate. At 5 Mb/s, one minute is about 37.5 MB, so $1 per 1,000 minutes equals roughly $0.027 per GB delivered (our estimate). At 2.5 Mb/s it doubles to about $0.053 per GB, because lower bitrates pay the same per minute. ## **Worked examples: three workloads** All three use monthly list prices checked August 2026 for plan fees, 2025 rates for add-ons, and $0.09 per GB origin egress. All results are estimates. ### Documentation site, 8 TB on Pro Plan $25. A 97% hit ratio leaves 240 GB from origin, or $21.60. Total $46.60 over 8,000 GB is **$0.0058 per GB**. Cloudflare is very hard to beat here. ### SaaS frontend and API, 15 TB and 400 million Worker requests on Business Plan $250. Workers: $5 base, 390 million extra requests at $0.30 per million is $117, and 5 ms average CPU (2,000 million ms minus 30 million included) at $0.02 per million adds $39.40. Uncached API responses send 3 TB to origin, or $270. Total $681.40 over 15,000 GB is **$0.045 per GB**. Enabling Argo on all 15 TB would add about $1,500 and push it past $0.14 per GB. ### Game patches, 300 TB Self-serve terms do not fit this volume of large files, so this is an Enterprise deal. At the reported $5,000 starting point the floor is about **$0.017 per GB** before origin egress; the actual figure is negotiated and not published. ## **Cloudflare alternatives for high-volume delivery** Below about 46 TB a month, Cloudflare Pro or Business ($25 and $250) and Amazon CloudFront Business ($200 for 50 TB) cost less than metered CDNs, so no cost ranking is meaningful there. Above that, for video and large-file traffic that Cloudflare routes to Enterprise, published per-TB pricing changes the outcome. Criterion: monthly cost for 100 TB of large-file or video delivery, published price lists checked August 2026. | Vendor | Cost at 100 TB | Billing model | Strength | Limitation | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | BlazingCDN | $415 | Progressive per-TB tiers, one global rate, no request fees | NVMe SSD servers, 50 GB objects | No HTTP/3, WebSockets, WAF or DDoS mitigation; no free tier | | bunny.net | $500 Volume, $1,000 Standard | Per GB, network-dependent | Broad self-serve feature set | Volume network has a smaller edge footprint than Standard | | CDN77 | $990 | Plan covering up to 250 TB | Strong video delivery focus | Step pricing overpays at 100 TB | | Amazon CloudFront | From $1,000 Premium; $6,965 pay as you go | Flat plans or per GB plus requests | Native AWS origin integration | Pay-as-you-go transfer is expensive at scale | | Gcore | About EUR 2,000 at list | Plan plus overage | Edge compute and security options | List price needs negotiation at volume | | KeyCDN | $2,600 NA and EU; $5,200 into Asia | Per GB, regional rates | Simple self-serve setup | Asia traffic costs double | | Cloudflare Enterprise | From about $5,000 (reported) | Annual contract, quote-based | Integrated WAF, bot management, Workers | Price not published; annual commitment | At 100 TB of heavy files, published per-TB CDNs cost roughly a tenth of a reported Cloudflare Enterprise floor. BlazingCDN publishes this blog, so verify this result on your own traffic; its 14-day testing period exists for exactly that. For a feature-by-feature view, see the [**BlazingCDN vs Cloudflare comparison**](https://blazingcdn.com/vs/cloudflare/). As of November 2026, BlazingCDN charges from $5 per TB down to $2.50 per TB at volume on progressive tiers, with 100 TB costing $415 and 300 TB costing $1,115 ($415 plus 200 TB at $3.50), which is about $0.0037 per GB for the game-patch workload above. Current rates are on the [**BlazingCDN CDN pricing page**](https://blazingcdn.com/pricing/). ## **Best fit by workload** | Workload | Best fit | Why | | --- | --- | --- | | Static site or docs under 20 TB | Cloudflare Free or Pro | Flat fee, under $0.006 per GB including origin | | SaaS app needing WAF, bot rules, edge logic | Cloudflare Business or Enterprise | Security and Workers in one platform | | Video on demand or HLS above 50 TB | Metered high-volume CDN; Cloudflare Stream if you need encoding and a player | $0.004 to $0.005 per GB versus about $0.027 on Stream at 5 Mb/s | | Game builds, installers above 100 TB | Metered high-volume CDN | Large-object delivery without an Enterprise floor | | Mixed: web app plus heavy downloads | Cloudflare for the app, second CDN for files | Keeps security stack, moves bytes to per-TB pricing | The split architecture usually wins once heavy files exceed about 50 TB a month, because Cloudflare stays cheapest for the web tier and the bytes move to the cheaper meter. ## **Risk and migration** Lock-in on Cloudflare is mostly in Workers code, rulesets and DNS, not in caching. Moving a download hostname to another CDN is a DNS change plus cache warm-up; rewriting Workers is weeks. Before switching, measure four numbers for 30 days: cache hit ratio by bytes, requests per delivered GB, origin egress dollars, and total invoice. Compare complete effective cost per GB, never plan prices alone, and check Enterprise renewal dates before committing anything new. ## **FAQ: Cloudflare CDN pricing and cost per GB** ### Does Cloudflare charge per GB for CDN bandwidth? No, Cloudflare does not charge per GB for standard CDN caching on Free, Pro or Business plans. You pay a flat monthly fee per zone. Per-GB charges appear through add-ons such as Argo Smart Routing, through Stream per-minute billing, and through your own origin egress, which often exceeds the plan fee once cache misses reach several terabytes. ### How much does Cloudflare Enterprise cost per month? Cloudflare Enterprise is quote-based and widely reported to start near $5,000 a month on an annual contract. The price depends on traffic volume, products bundled such as WAF, bot management, Workers and Logpush, and support level. At 100 TB a month that floor equals about $0.05 per GB before origin egress. ### Can I serve video on the Cloudflare Pro plan? Cloudflare's self-serve terms restrict serving a disproportionate share of video or large non-HTML files through the standard CDN on Pro. Heavy video belongs on Cloudflare Stream, R2-backed delivery or an Enterprise contract. Occasional embedded clips on a mostly web-content site rarely cause problems; a video library or download mirror usually does. ### What is the cheapest cdn cloudflare pricing option for a small site? The Cloudflare Free plan at $0 is the cheapest option and covers standard caching for most small sites. Pro at $25 a month billed monthly adds image optimization features and more rules. For sites under about 20 TB of web assets, effective cost per GB stays below $0.006 including typical origin egress. ### At what volume is Cloudflare pricing more expensive than a metered CDN? Cloudflare pricing becomes more expensive than metered per-TB CDNs when large-file or video traffic exceeds roughly 50 TB a month and forces an Enterprise contract. Below about 46 TB, Cloudflare Pro or Business usually costs less. Above it, published per-TB rates near $4 to $5 per TB undercut a reported $5,000 Enterprise floor. ## **Price your own Cloudflare cost per GB this week** Pull 30 days of Cloudflare analytics and your cloud bill. Compute bytes served, origin bytes, Worker requests and CPU time, then apply the formula above: plan fee plus add-ons plus origin egress, divided by GB delivered. Split the result by hostname, because a single download or video host often carries most bytes and most origin cost. That one number tells you whether the flat plan is still the right meter, or whether those bytes belong on a per-TB CDN beside Cloudflare. If heavy hostnames dominate the result, the [**BlazingCDN cost calculator**](https://blazingcdn.com/cdn-cost-calculator/) prices the same monthly volume on progressive tiers from $5 per TB, so you can compare the two effective rates side by side.
